i don't see anything different in his/her (?!) comments on this great pour compared to others' comments. i was just agreeing with an aspect of the review.

this VW12 is superb. that's all that matters, right?

No. The bourbon is just fine. What does matter is the substance of the review. In this case your friend presents little or no substance. I can not add, nor do I take away from his post. It is what it is. It is sad, and without merit. My only wish is that people would post tastings supurbly well written of great merit. I do grow so weary of uninformed posts, or of so called tasters that can not tell the difference between peanutbutter and deamon farts.
